Finding the Balance as a Self-Employed Foster Mom

In this episode, Sharika Kellogg from 25/8 Mom, joins me to talk about her journey of leaving a toxic corporate environment to becoming a self-employed foster mom to 3 little boys.

Sharika shares the challenges she had getting her business off the ground, pushback from family members, and how's learned to balance her work and personal life since then. Now, she's helping other parents tap into their own skills and launch their own virtual businesses.
